Berquen appears to have taken most of his information from the sources cited in the text and little can be identified that was not already general knowledge at the time... Berquen appeared to be most familiar with diamonds and pearls but increasingly unfamiliar with the uncommon or rare gemstones... Very little information on the West Indies."--Gemology by J....
